We went from infertility treatments- and the fear of never having any children- to having three children under the age of two within 19 months: twins conceived after six rounds of IVF and a singleton conceived spontaneously. This is my place to write about trying to be Supermom, the lasting effects of infertility and suburban playground politics.

Show and Tell

Well, we made it back from our anniversary celebration and everyone survived. I actually even relaxed and had a great time once I heard that all of the kids were doing great with the grandparents. It was really nice to have some "couple time" with DH and to revisit the place we went to on our honeymoon 10 years ago, Cap Juluca in Anguilla (about 5 miles north of St. Maartin). So my show and tell for today is the view from our suite- huge wooden folding doors (the length of the room) opened up to our veranda, where we sat each morning eating our breakfast. We could hear the waves crashing at night. Pure bliss:And one more of the beach at the resort....aaaah, I feel relaxed just looking at it again:We had a heck of a time getting back (cancelled flight left us stranded one night in St. Maartin in a fancy-looking but actually gross hotel) but everything worked out fine in the end and I'm glad DH "forced" me to go on this trip :)

Oh my goodness. That looks like heaven on earth. Our honeymoon was a Southern Caribbean cruise and St. Maarten was one of our ports of call. St. Maarten and St. Thomas were by far my favorite locations.
